The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) said the new transport interchange and 820 buses inaugurated in Lagos last week by President Muhammadu Buhari would revolutionize public transportation in Lagos.
They also lauded Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for his massive investment in road infrastructure.
The Lagos State Chairmen of NURTW and RTEAN, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede and Alhaji Mohammed Musa respectively told newsmen in Lagos that the 10-lane expansion of airport road, inauguration of Oshodi Transport Interchange, new buses and terminals were milestones in the development of public transportation in the state.
Agbede, who commended Ambode for massively investing in the transport sector, said that efficient transportation was crucial to boosting the socioeconomic development of the state. He said the new 820 buses and road infrastructure will boost transportation and reduce the hassles being faced by residents in commuting from one place to another in Lagos.
“What we are witnessing is a welcome development in revolutionizing public transportation in Lagos and it would help Lagosians move from one place to another comfortably,” he said.
The RTEAN Chairman on his part lauded the government for its investment in road infrastructure and public transportation.
